Conventional Saltwater Reel

whats the difference between casting, spinning, and conventional rod/reels combos?

what is each one best for; prefer offshore fishing but also inshore, but i will mostly be fishing in saltwater. i see fishing boats have 20 fishing poles and only 2 people on-board…why so many?…how many would i need and what types. anything should help.

you would probably do well with a medium to heavy S/W spinning combo unless bottom fishing in deep water or going after the really big beasts where a good conventional outfit would offer you increased line capacity and better control of the larger fish. and those people on the boats have them all rigged differently for different situations. trolling, tossing a live bait or rigged with different lures for different fishes.
